In this My Hero Academia fanfiction, Izuku Midoriya learns he's Quirkless at age four-and the world turns cold. Bullied by peers, ignored by teachers, and even tormented by his once-best friend Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku feels crushed under society's harsh judgment. But everything changes when his father, Hisashi Midoriya, tells him the story of the Midnight Guardian-the last Quirkless pro hero of the modern era. Despite society's scorn, the Midnight Guardian rose to rank #17 in the hero rankings, saving countless lives and training both mainstream and underground heroes with nothing but skill, intellect, and indomitable will.
Inspired, Izuku vows to follow in his footsteps and become the new symbol of hope for the Quirkless. Over the next ten years, he trains relentlessly-mastering martial arts, honing his mind into a weapon, and pushing his body to peak condition. Along the way, he finds kindred spirits in friends like Hitoshi Shinso, Mashirao Ojiro, and Itsuka Kendo-proving that bonds can still be formed, even in the face of prejudice.
After the Sludge Villain incident and a disheartening encounter with All Might, Izuku catches the attention of a mysterious man named Tadashi Yamamoto-who turns out to be the retired Midnight Guardian himself. Impressed by Izuku's heart, ideals, and courage, Tadashi offers to train him as his successor. Izuku, stunned but honored, accepts without hesitation.
This is the rise of Midnight Aegis-the Quirkless hero who will turn society on its head, one righteous step at a time.
